Indi Hartwell never lost her WWE NXT Championship when she was with the company. She was only forced to relinquish the title when she was drafted to the Raw brand.

On Sunday, Hartwell was back on top of a women’s division in pro wrestling. She defeated Xia Brookside at Total Nonstop Action Wrestling’s (TNA) Bound for Glory pay-per-view to become the Knockouts world champion for the first time in her career.

Hartwell worked hard to get back into the Knockouts World Championship picture. She nearly got her first taste of TNA gold in the Knockouts TV Championship Tournament, but was eliminated in the semifinals. She dusted herself off and continued to vie for the illusive belt, picking up a tag team title win with Harley Hudson and winning a match via DQ against Zoey Serrano.

After Daria Rae slapped her backstage, Hartwell was rewarded with a shot at the Knockouts Championship against Brookside. Brookside and Hartwell both explained in their pre-match promos the match essentially came down to doing things the right way.

Brookside did her damndest to keep the title but her frustrations got the better of her. She slapped special guest referee Mickie James twice before the TNA Hall of Famer retaliated. Hartwell took advantage and hit the Hurts Donut to get the win.

Brookside’s reign ends after 105 days. She initially won the title against Lei Ying Lee.

Hartwell is the fourth different Knockout to win the belt this year, following in the footsteps of Brookside, Lee and Arianna Grace.

Hartwell is a champion again and there doesn’t seem to be anyone who is going to take that belt away from her immediately.
